Chapter 7
Max POV
I stared at him for a second, trying to comprehend his words, "A real party?"
Fang nodded, "A real party. Come on." He grabbed my hand and practically dragged me away from the clock, and out the doors of the dining hall, and before I knew it, out of the 1st class section.
"Fang!" I hissed, "Where are we going?"
He turned around, still walking and still gripping my hand, and a ghost of a smile flashed across his lips, "You'll see." And he continued dragging me.
We went down stairs, down some more stairs, and down some more stairs, when I started to hear the loudest music I've ever heard. But I've never heard this type of music before. It was loud, it was obnoxious, it was fast beat.
And I totally loved it.
Fang now let go of my hand, and I couldn't help but miss the loss of contact. I shook my head, I was engaged. Engaged! To… Dylan.
We walked in, just as a new song was starting, and as the door opened, the music got even louder, if that is at all possible.
Fang was now leading the way, and we walked in a little more, the room was crowded with people, and most of which were either dancing, or drinking. Or both.
"Fang!" Many people shouted as we were weaving through the crowd of people. He was apparently very famous here.
Fang found a semi-empty table, and quickly shed of his fancy jacket, and let his gelled back hair loose. He must've hated that. His dark black bangs fell back into his just as black eyes.
"Fang!" I heard another shout of. Except, this time, the voice was different. It was a tiny voice, yet it echoed through the loud room. I looked around and saw girl, probably around six years old, jumping up and down in excitement, her blondes curls bouncing with her.
"Angel!" Fang said back, he looked excited to see her as well.
"Will you dance with me?" She asked sweetly. Fang sent me a look that easily said, 'like I could say no.'
"Of course I will," he said back, and took her hand, leading her to the middle of the room with a makeshift dance floor.
They were in the middle of the song that had started playing when we first walked in, and I took a seat at the table where Fang had discarded his jacket, and watched with a big smile on my face as Fang spun around that Angel girl. She couldn't look happier if she tried.
A man sitting next to me was saying… something.
"What?" I yelled over the music.
His lips moved again, but I couldn't understand.
Still smiling I yelled, "I can't understand you!" and took a drink of what I think was beer. Oh well.
I turned my attention back to Fang and Angel; even Fang had a smile on his face as he danced with the sweet little girl. He was spinning her around again, and people started clapping to the beat of the song. I put down my drink and happily joined in the clapping. I can't remember ever having this much fun.
I heard a loud crash and saw a man go down! About to get up to help who ever got hurt, I looked and saw his buddies helping him up. A little too much to drink, I thought, as someone handed him yet another drink. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing.
The song was ending and everyone started clapping for the musicians as Fang's friend Iggy was yelling "Bravo!" Over and over again.
The musicians nodded their thanks and quickly started another song, a bit quicker than the last.
Fang came over towards me with Angel right in front of him. He bent down to her level and said, "I'm going to dance with this girl now."
What girl, I thought. Then I saw his finger, pointing to me.
Oh no, no, no, no, no. I don't think so.
Angel looked a little disappointed but nodded. Fang smiled at her slightly. He bent back up to his original tall height and came closer to me, "Come on."
I stared at him, "What- no!"
"Come on!" He said playfully, and grabbed my hand again, pulling me up out of my seat.
"Fang! Wait! I… can't do this."
We were on the dance floor now, and the song was just about to get really fast and furious. My heart pace quickened and had no intention of slowing down any time soon.
"To do this, we're going to have to get a bit closer," Fang said and put his hand at the small of my back, bringing both of our bodies closer together. Yeah, my heartbeat definitely wasn't slowing down.
We were so close, I don't think a paper could slide between our bodies. Fang held my one hand in the air, and the other was still on my back. He turned his head to the side, "You're still my best girl, Angel," he told the sad looking little girl, who easily brightened at the comment.
And then… we started moving.
We moved more towards the middle of the dance floor and were kind of hopping back and forth, like all the other couples were.
And by couples I mean two people, not that we're together, or anything like that. No. Course not.
"Fang, I don't know this dance," I told him. Yeah, at the moment, there's a lot of things I don't know.
"Neither do I. Just go with it." Was his advice. This was going to get ugly.
The music was getting faster, and I started laughing again as we started hopping back and forth really quickly.
"Don't think!" Fang told me.
At this point, I was laughing hysterically as we hopped across the dance floor, all other people seeming to do the same thing.
Iggy and girl he was with, Nudge, I believe, both got up onto this huge table, and apparently, Fang wanted to follow suit. He grabbed my hand, yet again, and pulled me onto the table.
"Fang, wait!" I yelled, but I knew it was useless.
The people on the table made a small half-circle around Fang, and he suddenly put his hands in his pockets, and easily did some amazing footwork to the beat of the song.
I watched, amused for a second, before I decided to make this a little competition. I couldn't help myself. I took off my heels and threw them to some random stranger, who didn't seem to mind holding them.
I picked up my dress so I could see my feet and did the same type of footwork Fang was doing moments before. Take that.
No one could take the smile off my face. Correction from my earlier statement: this was the most fun I've ever had.
I looked up to see Fang's amused expression as he watched my feet work. I smiled at him, and he smiled back. He clapped loudly and started doing his footwork again. We did it back and forth a few times, and then Fang held out his arm, I took it with my own arm, and we spun in circles, occasionally switching arms to switch direction of our spinning.
Iggy and Nudge were doing the same, and everyone was smiling big. Even Fang.
Fang then changed our dance and we put both of our arms in the middle and started spinning around them. Really fast, I might add.
We were going faster, and faster, and I screamed a little bit, "Fang!"
His only response was, "Whoa!"
I was laughing again as we spun and spun. Eventually, we stopped spinning. We got off the table, and I felt drunk, either from being so happy for once in my life, or the spinning. Probably both.
Fang took my hand this time, and slowly led us off the dance floor and to our original table, which had quickly filled up with people.
Two guys were arm wrestling each other, and Fang must've known one because he yelled, "Go Gazzy!"
Fang leaned over both of them and grabbed two drinks sitting on the table, quickly handing one to me. I took it gratefully and basically chugged half of the beer. Fang looked at me as if I had two heads.
"What? You think a 1st class girl can't drink?" I said amused.
Someone rudely bumped into Fang and he spilled some of his drink on me, he quickly pushed the guy out of the way and said something like, "Get out of here!"
He turned to me quickly apologizing and asking me if I was okay, but I was laughing hysterically, of course I was fine! I've never had this much fun before!
I assured him I was fine because he still looked worried, and I noticed that the arm wrestling match had lost.
The one that lost was yelling, "2 out of 3! 2 out of 3!" and they were getting ready to start another match and I walked over.
I obnoxiously placed my drink in between the two of them, "So," I drawled out, "you think you're big, tough men?" I took one of the guy's cigarettes and took a drag and gave it back, I blew out the smoke, "Well let's see you do this."
I took a step back, and everyone watched me, wondering what I was doing.
My dress was in the way, yet again, I took the bottom of it and held it to Fang, "Hold this for me Fang." He held it awkwardly. "Hold it up!" I told him, and he immediately held it higher.
Okay… ballet… you got this Max, you got this.
I closed my eyes, and slowly lifted my arms, my height slowly gaining as I moved all my weight from my whole foot, slowly to only my toes.
Everyone watched, mouth agape, and man, it really hurt! I yelled out an "Ow!" and fell, of course into Fang's arms. He was really strong…
The men started clapping with smiles on their faces. Yeah, I would like to see them try to do that.
"You alright?" Fang asked, still holding me.
I nodded, smiling, "I haven't done that in years!"
Another song was just starting, and everyone was grabbing each other's hands to make a sort of train going around the dance floor. Iggy quickly came and grabbed my hand, and I just as quickly grabbed Fang's. And again, we started hopping around the dance floor.
I couldn't stop smiling, even if I tried.
I looked to my side and saw Fang, who was smiling too, his dark eyes were staring into my brown, and I got lost.
He suddenly laughed, and I soon joined in. What we were laughing at? No idea. All I know is that was the most fun I had ever, ever, ever, had.
And it was because of Fang.
AN: Well that's the 3rd class party! It was fun to write. :D
Once again, my deepest apologies for this chapter taking so long to come up. I hope it did the wait justice, and I'll be trying to update more as summer is finally here!
Please review, even if you hate me. Heck, review saying how much you hate me. (I think I deserve it)
Thanks for reading! :)
